OK-I am not sure if this recording assures Abbado's place in history.
The recording team did an average job on this symphony. Abbado's interpretation was above average certainly.
But, I have found Solti and Jansons even better.
The SACD mix was OK-not great. |

Let me start by saying I have owned Rostropovich (2 versions), DePreist (2), Jarvi, Ashkenazy, Haitink, Berglund, Bychkov and Mravinsky. The only versions I couldn't stand were both Rostropovich's. For my taste, way too slow. The newer DePreist was a disappointment as well.
To the new disc, this is ... more |

My wife and I have always loved this recording. This was a discovery on a trip to Michigan over ten years ago. The music store was playing it on the sound system and we immediately had to get it. The trumpet playing of Bud Herseth was monumental.

Picked this up about a week ago. I have always heard good things about this recording. Yet, never owned it in any incarnation before.

| I bought a couple of the Living Stereo Re-issues because I really enjoyed the original issues.
At the time, January 2005, I didn't have a SACD player. Finally, we bought a Sony player. The Chicago recordings, esp. Concerto for Orchestra and Strauss, were amazing on a good system.
I truly fell in love with the idea of SACD when I picked up Chailly's ... more |

| Quick question for everyone-Has anyone gotten any of the Bruckner/Japan SACD's of Wand and Berlin?
I was looking into buying the 9th on SACD and wondered if anyone could say there was a marked improvement in the recording?
I love Wand's Bruckner and own 4,5,8, and 9 on RBCD. ... more |

| Received my copy this week. Have played it in the car and in my Sony SACD player. No problems at all.
I find the performance is really good. Sound is great and the interpretation is very convincing.
Hope you find a solution. ... more |

| If your friend likes vintage sets, Living Stereo has a bunch. Each is a double cd set.
Turandot-Nilsson is awesome
La Boheme-Moffo and Tucker I very good.
